How to Make Potato Pancakes Kartoffelpletter

  1. Cook 1 kg of potatoes in their jackets in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender (about 20-25 minutes).
  2. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly (about 10 minutes).
  3. Peel the potatoes and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Mash while still warm.
  4. Gradually add 150g rye flour and 2 large egg whites to the mashed potatoes, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
  5. Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  6. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a thin, round cake (about 1/8 inch thick).
  7. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large frying pan over medium-low heat. Cook the potato cakes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Watch carefully to prevent burning. Adjust heat as needed.
  9. Serve immediately with melted butter and honey, or your favorite toppings (recipe #504584 is a great option!).
